Director JJ Abrams' production house Bad Robot and Warner Bros TV are in talks to turn Stephen King's bestselling 2011 novel '11/22/63' into either a TV series or miniseries.
The bestselling 2011 novel centres on Jake, an unassuming divorced English teacher who attempts to prevent the assassination of John F Kennedy which occurred on November 22, 1963. Using a time portal, he travels back to five years before Kennedy's murder and stalks the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, reported Aceshowbiz.
Details of the potential new TV show are still scarce. The project was originally set up to become a movie with Jonathan Demme envisioned as the director.
"Under the Dome", a TV adaptation of King's other novel of the same title, will debut on June 24 on CBS.
